the unions of mercedes benz victoria they have managed to agree on the next strike call and have announced that they will stop in a common way on June 29 and 30 Within the employee representation there are two blocks, one of which consists of: UGT and CCOOwho had announced a strike for the 29th, and another consisting of ELA, LAB and ESK that they had promoted strikes between June 27 and July 1.
Following the success of Wednesday’s strike, for which there were separate calls from the two blocs, the unions have agreed on the dates of two new strike days, to be declared this time by the works council, according to a statement from ELA, LAB and ESK. This understanding comes after the first strike in 20 years at the Vitoria factory succeeded in stopping production on Wednesday.
However, this is the only point of convergence between the different trade union movements, as they have conflicting positions on the approach to collective agreement negotiations, although they agree in rejecting more flexibility and demanding wage increases in line with the CPI.
The management of Mercedes Benz, the largest company in the CAV with 5,000 employees, has warned that the extension of the agreement “conditions” the arrival at the Vitoria plant of an investment plan of 1,200 million euros.
In fact, on the eve of the strike on Wednesday, the company sent a notice to workers deeming the call for strikes “totally incompatible” with the investment proposal for the Vitoria factory and accusing the enterprise committee of “boycotting” the negotiation of the agreement, to which this investment plan is “conditional”.
ELA, LAB and ESK have also announced that they will convene a workers’ meeting on Wednesday the 29th, coinciding with one of the strike days on which they will “invite the workers and the unions they wish to attend, without any impositions or preconditions.”
